In Which His Holiness Sends His First Tweet

The doctrine of infallibility, that theological millstone rammed through Vatican Council I by that prince of fools, Pio Nono, with half of Rome dying around him of the heat, has very specific criteria. The pope must be speaking on matters of faith and morals, and he must be speaking ex cathedra, literally "from the chair" of St. Peter. So if he tells you that, say, Life Of Pi is the best movie of the year, you don't necessarily have to believe him and, if you go to the track with him, feel free to wheel the 20-1 shot no matter what il Papa's bookie told him.
